Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a platform swivel and mobile circular, for the transfer of a physically disabled, for example from his wheelchair to a WC seat or towards his bed and vice versa.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple device, in the form of an extremely platform low which, allowing easier lifting of the disabled, has a very solid handrail allowing the disabled person to stand for the very short moment when we rotate it to bring its rear part facing a toilet seat or a bed, before you can sit down without any twisting or effort of his lower limbs.
  • the invention therefore relates to a platform composed a sole, a circular plate pivotally mounted on the sole with interposition of centering means, guiding in rotation, and support, of a handrail in shape of an arc linked to the plate by two uprights telescopic, and two wheels mounted free in rotation at the ends of an axis parallel to a diameter of the tray, external to it and arranged opposite the access area on this platform, the wheels being arranged so as to come into contact with the ground only when tilting of the platform on their side.
  • the sole consists of a circular metal disc, of substantially the same diameter than the plate, while, on the one hand, the tray, also consisting of a metal sheet, is secured to a circular protective border extending to the sole, and that on the other hand, the elements of the two uprights are connected by a cross horizontal which, arranged at the height of the knees of a adult, is itself reinforced by an inclined tube extending between this crosspiece and the front part of the tray.
  • each of the ends of the hand current in an arc extends beyond its fixing on the upright, by a half bent return circle and down.
  • Each bent return thus forms a handle which, facilitating the gripping of the disabled in its phase of has the advantage of not having edge that can hang the disabled person's clothes or staff.
  • This platform includes a support sole 1 on the ground, consisting of a metal disc, and a tray 2, also consisting of a metal sheet.
  • the tray 2 supports two metal tubular uprights 4 which are welded to him substantially on either side of his plane transverse median, that is to say on either side of its vertical axis of rotation x'-x relative to the base. These uprights support a handrail 5.
  • the sole 1 is provided, against its underside, with a plurality of pellets 12 made of synthetic material or rubber which are stuck on it to limit noise and sliding on the ground.
  • This sole is crossed axially by a bore 13 which is coaxial with the tapping of a collar nut 7, welded to it.
  • a collar nut 7 On his upper side are also welded supports, and for example, the yokes 14 carrying rollers or rollers 6.
  • Figure 3 shows that these rollers are distributed circularly with angular space substantially constant, around the vertical axis x'-x of plate rotation 2.
  • This plate 2 has, in top view, a shape general circular and extends on the front by a radial and rectangular post 16. This post, or at least its edge, is straightened upwards, as shown in the FIG. 2 to raise a rod 8 which is welded to it, parallel to its front edge. The ends of this rod 8, protruding from the tenon 16, constitute axis of rotation for two wheels 3.
  • the circular part of the plate 2 has a diameter substantially equal to that of sole 1, and more precisely is greater than this diameter the thickness of the sheet constituting a circular border 1b.
  • This border is welded on the plate, and extends vertically substantially up to sole 1, that is to say to mid thickness thereof. Its function is to protect the rollers 6 against any introduction of foreign bodies but also to protect the feet from disabled by preventing them from getting caught between the platform 2 and sole 1, when trying to climb on the tray.
  • the plate comprises rotating guide means which consist of a vertical screw 19, having a conical head 19a and a threaded end 19b.
  • This screw mounts freely in an axial bore 20, formed in the plate 2 and provided a countersink 21 adapted to receive the head 19a. His part threaded 19b is screwed into the collar nut 7 carried by the sole 1.
  • the means guiding in rotation and support of the plate are very compact, while providing excellent stability tray 2.
  • each of the tubular uprights 4 is telescopic, that is to say is composed of a lower element 4a linked to the plate 2, and an upper element 4b mounted to slide relative to him.
  • each element lower 4a is provided with a means 22 such as a radial screw, eccentric lever, transverse pin or sleeve tightening allowing the element to be wedged in translation upper 4b in this lower element.
  • the handrail 5 forms an arc of a circle which extends over the front of the platform, without overflow from tray 2.
  • Each of its arcuate ends circle extends beyond its attachment to the upright 4d by a return 5a, bent downwards, in the form of a half circle and the end of which is fixed, by welding, to the upper element 4b.
  • These returns 5a form handles whose usefulness will be specified later.
  • each lower element 4a of an amount is connected to the same upright element, by a cross horizontal 10 arranged near its end higher.
  • the distance between this crosspiece and the plateau 2 is substantially equal to the height of the knees of a medium-sized adult, so as to facilitate, by support of the knees on it, the rectification of the handicapped person.
  • this cross is welded to each of the elements 4a. It is reinforced by a reinforcing bar 11 which extends between it and the tray 2 and which is therefore inclined.
  • This cross arranged in the longitudinal median plane of the platform, is, in this embodiment, welded by each of its ends, respectively, on the crosspiece 10 and on set 2.
  • the cross 10 is fitted with a collar at each of its ends clamping with locking means on the lower element 4a correspondent.
  • the bar of reinforcement 11 is composed of two telescopic elements associated with translational locking means and each of its ends is linked, respectively, to the crosspiece 10 and to plate 2 by a hinge. This arrangement adjusts the vertical position of the cross member 10, depending on the size of the user, therefore the position of his knees relative to the plate 2.
  • the cross-member 10 is surrounded by at least one sleeve 23 of compressible material elastically, such as in synthetic foam, improving the support conditions of the knees.
  • this platform particularly simple and inexpensive, facilitates lift-sit movements the disabled, by offering, during these movements, perfect stability and means facilitating these movements.
